On this module you will further develop your understanding of contemporary television production in scripted formats. You will research and analyse the different approaches and styles of filming for location and/or studio based scripted production. Working in groups you will investigate, identify and practise the production techniques that are used in these programmes.

Content in this module will be practice and workshop-led and will require you to collaborate together to devise, research and produce a completed piece of work. An enhanced level of production content and quality will be expected with a clear progression from TV Non-scripted Production and TV Scriptwriting; and this will involve higher competencies, skills and professional rigour. Each group will allocate specific roles and responsibilities to each individual member of the team. You will therefore be producing a Role Production Portfolio which will detail your role in the production and include all the relevant paperwork associated with that role in the project: i.e. research; treatments, scripts, camera scripts, design drawings, risk assessments, schedules and call sheets, music clearances etc.
